14 year old FS Tonkinese with chronic vomiting 1-2 months, weight loss and normal blood work. The submucosal of the duodenum is particularly prominent. Her stomach was full – possible hair balls? Recommending a 24h fast and recheck ultrasound after 3-4 weeks of famotidine, maropitant and hairball remedy unless owner decides to proceed with intestinal biopsies.

Looks like hairball density along with ingesta. duodenal mucosal remodeling but otherwise nsf
Thank you, Eric. I have been under the understanding that submucosal thickening by itself correlates with enteritis/acute inflammation. Is that correct, or do you include other rule outs?
You mention mucosal remodeling in this case, but do you appreciate submucosal thickening? The white line just seems so prominent to me.
